As it is proven that this company was the source of this new outbreak, why are there no arrests??? The costs of the medical expenses as well as creating new temporary hospitals should be forcefully recovered from Brandix. Who is protecting them???

So this is now "Minuwangoda Cluster" not Brandix Cluster. What about "Welisara Navy Camp Cluster" months ago. Why you people just did not call it Welisara Cluster?
